Raina and I return to Langara Island for some of the world's best salmon fishing.

(Click on any of the photos below to see the larger version.)

One of the more unlikely specimens of shoreline geology we encounter is Pillar Rock.

Salmon fishing requires a certain zen-like detached alertness. You are the lure.

Here are the results of one morning's outing. Three chinooks about 20 pounds each, and three 10 pound cohos.

After some fussing about in the wrong place, we found the right one for a couple of nice halibut.

Once again Raina lands the prize fish of the trip, this one a 31 pound tyee.

We were treated to a couple of good humpback whale shows. Here a group of over a dozen bubble-feeds close to shore.

Here is Langara Fishing Lodge on a calm cloudy day. That's me on the heli-pad.
